I think we should all stand from our seats and applaud the man who:-
-got up after a broken ankle and kept on riding
-is one of only six in history who have achieved this distance
-has the will to go on riding for a further 8 months in search of his goal
-sets aside illness, team member defections, bad weather and all sorts of other distractions/comments. He just gets on with the job in hand
I'm really proud of Steve and what he has achieved/will go on to achieve.
